Hello All, I've browsed through 'An introduction to R' and it seemed, I didn't find the answers to following questions: 1) does R provide widgets and other stuff to provide nice windows-native-like applications look and feel? 2) if not, how to do that? greetings - Wojtek -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Hardly a question for an introduction to R, though, since I assume you are talking about Windows (R).> 2) if not, how to do that?(or even if yes?) Look at the package windlgs in the Windows source packages distribution, and (rather less native but easier to program) the package tcltk. Note that quite a few things (menus, simple dialogs) are already available on Windows only. -- Brian D.

This requires you to install the Tcl/TK library on your machine and set some paths. Tcl/Tk has the advantage of being cross-platform. It really works between Windows and Linux as long as you take care with file system pathnames. I have not checked it on the Mac but I have heard that code works with the very occasional need for minor modification. Tcl/Tk creates widgets with the same look & feel of the local operating system.
